irene02 2024-10-07 20:52

Great graphics, fun gameplay... Amazing job :hushed:

guiik 2024-10-07 20:54

Pretty fun ! Hard on the immediate memory ^^

gaalsien 2024-10-07 20:57

Really interesting game! Fun creatures!) Enjoyed this game a lot)

adamlenglen 2024-10-07 21:01

@alezjl @irene02 @guiik @gaalsien Thank you so much for playing the game !!

zebonny 2024-10-07 21:53

A nice game with great attention to detail

ramchops-games 2024-10-07 22:33

I like the vibes of this game. It feels like a treasure hunting game where you would follow clues to find the treasure, only this time the treasure is replaced by tiny creatures...and you exterminate them. I also like how each time you play a level (reloading, failing and retrying, etc.) the hiding spots for the creatures are different. Some of these clues are pretty clever, and they reflect the client's personality well, especially the kid in Level 2 who had descriptions such as "a boring room", "the smiley room", "the room with the fun carpet", to name a few. The AEUGH the creatures make before being squish sound satisfying to me, as well.

A job well done for all of you!

Great game !! I love the artwork, makes the game clear to understand and lively !

pres2300 2024-10-07 23:40

This was really fun! Really great artwork, sounds, music, and game design! I have a really bad memory so I started to struggle once I got to the third level (that's my problem, though, not the game's). Nice work!

sofimei 2024-10-08 03:09

Wow fun game! Love a clever puzzle, these were definitely difficult and were a good challenge~ Enjoyed the simple cute art, the little details like the characters in the rooms being animated, and love the dialogue from the phone with funny voices and the wiggly phone! it was a nice touch and made the transitions interesting~ Nice work!

takhomasac 2024-10-08 03:19

cool concept and art style! nicely done :)

okshirl 2024-10-08 03:51

The art is super polished, the voice acting cracked me up! I will finish the puzzles once I have more time, ADHD + ESL can't read ; ; But a really cool idea!!

adamlenglen 2024-10-08 07:09

Thank you all for your feedbacks!

royur 2024-10-08 07:19

Funny Voice. Hard game though.. where is smiling room? where is the game room?

ulysselenglen 2024-10-08 07:39

@royur Check two of the bottom screenshots from the description ! The chairs form a smiling face ;) Thanks for your review !!

adamlenglen 2024-10-08 07:42

@royur yes haha pretty hard but there's usually multiple information to help you find the right room, the smilling room is on one of the pictures in this game page :wink: thanks for trying the game

sergykoraduba 2024-10-08 08:46

A fun ghost hunting game. They explode funny when you find them. I am lucky that I speak a little English and was able to understand the instructions. Coolly decorated, stylish. The sounds fit the environment. How did you make speech sounds in your phone handset?

ulysselenglen 2024-10-08 09:17

Thank you for the review ! We had a lot of fun doing the game ! I recorded each sample and edited on Reaper. The clock and the explosion are made by mouth, the speech from the phone is me taking different voices and saying random successions of random sylables ! The scan beep is a beep from my microwave with some effects lol

rascarcapackdev 2024-10-08 09:30

Really nice job ! The pixel art is very pretty and the sound of the game is unique. Impressive stuff

kakka22 2024-10-08 09:37

Fun and addictive. Good job!

plasticsword 2024-10-08 10:57

A simple game that's really well made, nice vibes and I love the voices.

turturi 2024-10-08 13:47

Amazing artwork, sounds, idea, and gameplay. The difficulty progression is well-balanced. The attention to detail is also amazing, all the locations have a distinct feel to them.

daeron 2024-10-08 14:18

This game is so beautiful

chronicpain 2024-10-08 16:42

Really nice entry ! Our team enjoyed playing it all the way together. It's fun, effective, runs smoothly, well done team :) We also liked the sound design and the sprites were awesome.

whyitss 2024-10-08 16:47

Art is fantastic! This is not my favorite genre of game but it is still super fun. not too difficult either. good bit of humor as well. Good job!

openthewindow 2024-10-08 16:48

really good job!love the amazing artwork,

adamlenglen 2024-10-08 16:50

thank you !!

korzhik 2024-10-08 16:51

That's a very cool idea. Finding the right place felt like a reward. I liked the visuals, but the perspective is weird. The audio matches both the visuals and the narrative. I loved it!!!

kaspjej 2024-10-08 17:20

The best game I played so far. Charming graphics. Loved the mood, especially in last level. I played was holding my finger to remember the position. The difficulty had good balance. 5 stars.

kirass 2024-10-08 17:32

Cool game! I liked it.

jcomcl 2024-10-08 17:55

Hotline Miami if the "bugs" you had to "extermintate" were actually bugs you had to exterminate. I love the per-level themes in particular.

sviborg 2024-10-08 18:45

Loved the game! 🕵️‍♂️🦟 Great graphics and funny sound effects make every minute fun. The levels are varied and there is always a challenge for memory - to find all the hidden creatures! 🧠🐞 I was especially impressed by the detail, both in animation and in sounds. The difficulty gradually increases, which adds interest! 🎮👏 Keep up the good work!

franklyn01 2024-10-08 19:24

Really fun! Loved the dialogues between levels :D Great variety of room designs.

aegisfate 2024-10-09 05:34

Amazing! The pixel art is very exquisite, and the strange tones on the phone made me laugh. The puzzles are quite challenging.

alexis8 2024-10-09 08:31

the enigmes are simple yet a bit challenging so it was quite fun to try it

woona 2024-10-09 11:38

The game felt very polished and fun, you scoped it really well. Also, you got the difficulty right: the last 2 levels were quite challenging. The timer added to the tension but I never actually ran out of time, it's pretty generous.

Great job! Good luck to your team in future projects!

ulysselenglen 2024-10-09 18:12

Thank you all for playing our game ! And thanks for your reviews !

captainzo 2024-10-10 14:57

The gameplay is very funny ! The artstyle is very pretty ! Well done and godd job ! :smile:

recursor 2024-10-10 19:40

Neat idea for a detective/puzzle game where you have to remember and put together clues. I enjoyed the graphic style and sounds/music. Congrats.

mavvy 2024-10-11 00:49

The sound design and pixel art are top-tier. :smile:

The game's hints are just enough to get a good idea where *they* are, and hunting them down made me really appreciate the love put into the level design. I noted that I didn't run out of time once, even with penalties for getting it wrong in a couple of places on the 3rd level. In fact, I ironically nearly lost at the tutorial as it took a minute for me to understand to click on doors to navigate the room. :laughing:

Again, I really like these levels, they look cozy and the sound design (especially grandma on the third level) made each level feel like a different physical space. I love level 2 the best, it's very cute. :thumbsup:

scrapmetal 2024-10-11 12:19

WOW!! This is so great!!! The art is top notch and super polished. Looks amazing. :heart_eyes: I was super immersed in each house.

I'm amazed you had this much variety and so many houses in this amount of time. :scream:

Some of the hints got very complicated as you got further in and my brain got tired. LOL

I loved the feel of going through the doors, and the nice transition between rooms was a nice little detail.

The design and animation of the little creatures was my fav!! Really great entry.

dywanix 2024-10-11 20:18

awsome artstyle!

andreia 2024-10-12 23:07

I had so much fun with this game. I really like the mechanic of looking for things based on the cues and hints. The art style is really cute and audio fits really well. The audio for finding a creature was really funny!

exa 2024-10-15 08:03

Nice game!!!Very interesting aspects in game !!! Looks Wonderful 10/10!!!

aviv-levy 2024-10-15 11:47

Really polished and well executed game with a high production quality. Figuring out the locations of the creatures was easy at first, but it got complicated with larger maps and more vague descriptions. The difficulty ramp worked well. The conversations was a nice addition, too.

I really don't have any feedback honestly. Well done!

drinlan 2024-10-15 20:14

Wow, this game is so polished! The pixel art is amazing, the difficulty is engaging... I liked the background music, too. Thankfully, it wasn't distracting me from the tasks. The voice acting was pretty funny. That poor kid, I hope he didn't get into trouble.

I ran out of time in one level and I noticed the hints were different. I thought the creatures were always in the same position, but it seems like that's not the case. I'm impressed you added that feature, along with everything else, in such a short time. I had a lot of fun playing this game. Congratulations!

And yes, I found them all! I hope they learned their lesson and never show up again, those microscopic monsters. Where did they even come from?

adamlenglen 2024-10-15 20:33

thank you so much everyone for your feedback it means a lot

euler-moises 2024-10-17 15:22

I loved it!

One of the only games that got 5 stars in everything. It's definitely in my TOP 5 of LD56. Awesome! I'm waiting for more missions.

:D

Thanks for the experience.

flowersksc 2024-10-17 16:05

thank you so much :)

holysparks 2024-10-22 19:19

My working memory put to the ultimate test...

cataclysmicknight 2024-10-24 19:30

Whew, this was stressful but fun lol. I had so many wrong guesses in that last house 🤣 I love how the houses got bigger and the clues got more open to interpretation and vague, yet never felt like "well I never would've guessed that!" They all made perfect sense once I found them :D
